    -Mayweather Jr is 42-1 (Castillo)
    -Márquez could have a shot beating Mayweather in WW or SLW

    A unified boxing league wouldn't solve a lot of the problems in boxing. People tend to think they would all disappear, but they wouldn't. It would likely end up semi-rigged like the NBA. Participants with larger audiences would get the calls and the breaks.

    PED testing in major leagues is hardly consistent or fair, either. MLB's policy is a joke, the NBA straight up doesn't test, and look at the NFL guys.

    Quillins left hook is on ATG level

    Stylistically Vitali doesn't suit Haye

    Broner is the next star of boxing

    Pacquiao's glory days are long gone.

    Khan is the best LWW in the world if he fought using his brain

    The clottey-pacquiao fight was fixed

    Mayweather one day will be broke. I mean evander holyfield type broke.

    Khan in a years time with Hunters work on him could give Mayweather a good fight, not necessarily winning. Due to his style and Athleticism.

    Price is the future of the heavyweight division.

    Matthysse has been the vicitm of zero robberies. Zab rightfully got the decision in a close fight. The Alexander fight could've gone either way, probably should've been a draw.

    Hmmm not much has changed since the last one of these

    i know these will get **** on but here it goes

    Cloud beat or at the very least drew Campillo, evidence being rounds 1,4,5,6,possibly 11 and definitely 12

    Bradley won vs Pac, it wasnt pretty it wasnt in style but i think he edged out a close one, definitely not popular

    Kessler had an eye injury, but left the tournament to avoid fighting Ward and Froch again rather just to wait on the sidelines and just have to fight the one who came out on top

    Haye isnt a top 5 cruiser and has no chance vs Vitali who could probably stop him

    Taylor vs Chavez was just fine

    As a Klitschko fan im ok with the stoppage vs Lewis as disappointed as i was it was the right thing

    Both brothers and Lennox Lewis would give anybody all time a real go and have a chance to beat anyone head to head

    Margarito did not cheat vs Cotto

    I agree especially on the Zab fight, Mattysse came on strong at the end after giving away most of the fight

    i tend to agree, though 1 title is a step in the right direction

    though i could see guys get totally ducked like how LaMotta was

    if there was like 1 champ it was Golden Boy and the best contender was Top Rank that fight may never happen

    but it would allow lots of good fights between contenders

    i dont think this is controversial but remove some weights

    only have 105, 112, 118, 126, 135, and then the rest are ok, cut from like 17 to 13 weights

    Tim Bradley is one of the 3 best fighters on Earth, and beats anyone 140-147

    James Kirkland would KO Floyd Mayweather

    James Toney was slightly ahead on my card when he KO'd Nunn.

    *Sergio Martinez has more "Elite level" fights left in him than both Pac or May.

    *Victor Ortiz will be a champion again.

    *All of Mayweather's best wins have been bested by another opponent more impressively than May's performance.

    He is a funny case. The guy has a great style a come at you face first and brawl, he fights at a high intensity

    sadly for him he is a head case and been labeled a quitter, fans hate this guy when he is really a good fighter for boxing

    exciting unpredictable and vulnerable

    The chin issue not so much, eh?

    But I **** you not, I have never seen an A level boxer with such a grave liability. Khan can outbox you all night long and all it takes is one clean shot to make his knees buckle and make him throw his gameplan out of the window. Basically any random WW with reasonable power poses a realistic threat to him.

    Frank Bruno would have a very good chance of beating Wlad.
